SEE this photo?
Every time I do, I wish some of you were dead
Also, why do our eyes turn red?
What happened to the ethereal kind?
And what is on Joey's mind?

This is where I grew up
My nickname was once buttercup
I don't know if we will do this
I'm still embarrassed from my first kiss
This is where I go to school
I often have better things to do
The report said that I broke twice
I have to learn or try to be nice

I want to know if it is time
Should I go back and try to unwind?
I have never seen my daddy cry
If I am with them, I will not allow myself to lie
Every memory comes from a fume
I have photographs of them in my bedroom

Hard to say
It’s time to say
Goodbye

There is no walking protection device at the front door
I found a photo of an old friend I was looking for

Hard to say
It’s time to say

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
